“With my God I can scale a wall.” Psalm 18:29
It’s no secret that we are living in a time of great anxiety. Polarizing tension over issues of the day creates emotional and relational walls that threaten to divide families, neighbors and churches. Many of us don’t always express our own thoughts and emotions very well, let alone know how to equip others to deal with these realities.

Often congregations and their leaders want to respond but don’t know how to do so effectively and faithfully.

​In church settings we don't typically talk much about marketing. But if you have a story to tell or if you want to help others, marketing is the way to reach people to let them know what you have to offer.
This webinar addresses the critical strategic and marketing aspects of marketing within a spiritual environment, and ​is particularly​ helpful ​for spiritual writers early in their publishing career. The presentation is strategic in that it deals with topics such as market positioning and social media strategy, but also tactical as we dive into the details of Facebook marketing and advertising.

H​ow to find your niche
​H​ow to build your platform
Guidelines for Facebook marketing … [Read more...]

This webinar will present strategies and tools for determining if, when, why and how much a church should borrow.
Used strategically, debt can be a valuable tool for churches wishing to expand their mission and ministry. Understanding when – or if – a congregation should consider assuming debt is the key to successful debt management. Jim Rissler and Clare Lewis with The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Investment & Loan Program will share best practices: the pros and pitfalls experienced by hundreds of congregations who have successfully (and some not so successfully) used debt as an effective tool for ministry.
Thanks to PILP, this webinar is offered for free. PILP plans to offer a replay after the live event.
Who should attend? Pastors, session members, financial committee members, mid council leaders, and members of building/property committees
James G. Rissler is president and … [Read more...]
